• Notes

  Sometimes thought to be this William Jameson. However E.O.Jameson said of this, "There is a coincidence of some interest in the following facr, that another William Jameson, son of William Jameson, born about 1675 in the county of Edinburugh, Scotland, from the province of Ulster, Ireland, arrived from over the seas, Aug. 4, 1718, in the port of Boston, Massachussetts Bay, and a little later, wuth a few others, sailed for the coast of Maine and landed in Falmouth, where he settled and became the ancestor of The Jamesons in Maine. From anything which appears, this William Jameson, from the north of Ireland, knew nothing of the then late William Jameson, tailor, of Charleston, Mass, or that his heirs owned land in the vicinity, but he and his party dropped anchor in Casco Bay, and he established his home not far from the location of his hundred acres of land at that very time held in the Jameson name, in Falmouth, Me. Bearing the same name, ownership of land in the same vicinity about the same period has led sometimes to the wrong conclusion that they were one and the same person. [9]
